The successful man is the one who gets. out after business; the failure is the one who sits around and waits for business to come to him. -Ex, THE YOUNGER GEN- ERATION SPEAKS Well, 11Ir. Editor, there doesn't seem to be much to talk about these days excepting the hard times. I see by the papers where our "Re- doutable George". down at Ottawa, has :launched another characteristic broadside, this time the unfortunate victim was the Hon. Minister , who has charge of Radio. George took him to task for increasing the radio license fees by one dollar, I don't think anYones. is going to kick aw- fully hard as any; one able financial- ly', inancial- ly to operate a radio can afford to pay it, We would have got a bigger kick if he had spent all: that energy in taking tip the ctttlgels on behalf of that bigger group of people who can't' afford to own a radio that are finding it tough going the times, Vc may belong to that generation which can still enjoy a little whoop- ee, but at the sante time we have studied economics in their various phases. Today. we sce people trying to make ends meet with four cent hogs and 11 or 12 cont eggs, while inflation: of.,our government debt goes on with all : its attendant ex, - Dense and higher consumer taxes. The administration at 'Ottawa are literally moving heaven and earth to ensure that the American bolder of Canadian bonds is going to get his interest and principal .interms of lc, just to be able to boast that Canada's ,:credit is second to none, but, oil, at what, price to our farm,. as and producers who have to soli at deflated vices to meet our nflat- <overhead debts and taxes.

We do not think that our Federal government is responsible for the world's ills„ but, we do think that they could improve conditions 'a great Ileal in Canada if they were to follow the example set by England when she went off the gold stand- ard which automatically raised pric- es in their country and. gave relief to the producers. That group of experienced finan- ciers and statesmen who guide the ship of state for Old England came to the conclusion that it was better to abandon gold tetir.porarily until the States and France who now con- trol that commodity, come to a bet ter' sense, of their responsibility in the use of gold. If our pensioners, coupon clippers and salaried classes were to suffer such deflation of purchasing power as have our farmers we would hear an uproar. We don't want to : see that statd of affairs but it will soon stare us in the face providing there s nothing done immediately to re- lieve the plight of the producers. Now, Mr. Editor, sometimes' a fel low's' liver gets outof order and makes him feel like blowing off a lot of steam, but not so this time, We have followed with interest the viewpoints and writings of some of the • most enlightened economists who advocate the above measures, among thein, is Sir Josiah Stamp who addressed members of Parlia- ment last Friday. 1+Ve meet and talk to some who hold that fatalist viewpoint that it beyond any human effort to correct this .unprecendented condition, ,but we cannot agree with them ,it is a man made condition, and man can change it. We must either have deflation of debts and fixed charges or inflation of commodity prices if we are to have relief, Crossroads,.
